All politics aside....can we please get some tree trimming around the city? I know that finances are tight and there is a lot going on but some of these trees are really bad (i.e. much worse than in this video).

Hello Dr. Jones,
First, congratulations on your re-election to the city council. Moreover, thank you for responding to this thread before the election and having the courage not to take the discussion down.

I doubt if any financial analysis of real substance ever existed. Many have spoken about “numbers,” from Mr. Ray here on HCL, Barbara Calhoun, Charles Davis and so on but none have revealed anything for anyone to examine. Even the sheriff’s handout had a $40 million amount but few details. My question was and remains, what do the ghost numbers purport to show? A scaled down attempt to replicate sheriff services maybe? We probably will never know but it is beside the point. The question of exactly what the fictitious numbers were supposed to buy has never been addressed. Affordability depends on what’s being purchased in the first place.

At no time did a question of the kind, quality, and best policing service for Compton ever enter the discussion. It still has not. That’s the part that I find so incredulous. We were, and still are, simply given a choice that I believe is from the same exact end of the spectrum when the best service could lie elsewhere along a continuum. That narrow choice continues with the talk about putting something before the voters. This is simply silliness or worse. There seems to be so many selfish interest involved in the question of policing, as distinct from law enforcement, that the question of resident/citizen/customer need and service satisfaction is never raised.

LASD may have contributed to the decrease in crime, albeit crime is down all over the country, but other contributions could be just as significant. As far as we know, the programs that you have conducted in your district could be just as significant to reducing crime. The Teen Intervention Program, NAEJA, Sports Spectacular and the Wall of Shame may have helped reduced crime along with many, many other local efforts. Do you feel any safer with this knowled

My name is Ruth Perez and I wish Dr. Jones the best of luck on his re-election campaign.

Good luck on your re-election campaign. Keep up the great work.

Hello Dr. Jones,

Thanks Again.

Thank you for your quick responce. Truly a New Compton.

I commend you for voting against the ban of public comments on the public broadcast.

WELL, U DID BETTER THAN I EXPECTED IN VOTING FOR CERTAIN MEASURES AND CONTROVERSIAL ISSUES THAT NEEDED REVISING AND MORE DEVELOPMENT BEFORE BEING LAW IN THE CITY. WITH THAT I SAY AND SAY AGAIN YOU REPRESENTED THE PEOPLE AND YOU ARE TO REFLECT THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. BECOMING A SERVANT TO THE CONSTITUENTS THAT ELECTED YOU AND YOU ARE TO FULFILL THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE AS WELL. GOOD VOTING THUSFAR....WE WILL BE WATCHING YOU AND YOUR OFFICE OF THE 4TH DISTRICT OF COMPTON. GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR....

Greetings Dr. Jones,

I applaud you for creating a HCL profile. I hope that this along other social networks could help the city become more transparent, help the city communicate with the residents and business owners and help Compton become a better city to life.


Thank You,
Jose Jimenez
